Ingredients
Ingredients:Butter, unsalted, 1 stickGranulated Sugar, .66 cupBaking Powder, 1.5 tspCinnamon, ground, 1 tbspSalt, 1 tspVanilla Extract, 1 tsp2 Grade A Extra Large White EggsWhole Wheat Flour, 1.75 cup Fresh Cranberries, 1 cup, chopped Pistachio Nuts, 1 cup White Chocolate Candy, .5 cup chips
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) one large (about 18" x 13") baking sheet.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs; then at low speed of your mixer, add the flour, stirring until smooth; the dough will be sticky.
Plop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a log that’s about 14" long x 2 ½" wide x ¾" thick. Smooth its top and sides with wet fingers.
Bake the dough for 25 minutes. Remove it from the oven, and allow it to cool on the pan anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes. Using a spray bottle filled with room-temperature water, lightly but thoroughly spritz the log, making sure to cover the sides as well as the top.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Wait another 5 minutes, then use a serrated knife to cut the log crosswise into 1⁄2" to 3⁄4" slices.
Set the biscotti on edge on the prepared baking sheet. Return the biscotti to the oven, and bake them for 25 to 30 minutes, till they feel very dry and are beginning to turn golden. Remove the biscotti from the oven, and transfer them to a rack to cool.
